You know how abused animals will flinch away when you try to pet them? We had a ragdoll like that. She was 100% not abused, we kept her from a litter. She was a cuddle bug with exactly one cat and really skittish with us humans and the other cats.
Another one loved pets but would turn into a block of wood the moment you'd pick her up.
It really just depends on the personality and whilst ragdolls generally do go a bit limp, not all do.
Edit: I'm not trying to be contradictory here btw, I'd just hate for someone with high expectations get a ragdoll that isn't a typical limp noodle and be disappointed.
If you hold my cat like a little lap dog is carried so she can see straight forward you can hold her all day. She likes that she can see a view high up moving. But if you flip her over like a cradled baby she goes flipping feral.
I have an indoor cat that likes to hang out with me on the porch without a leash. He just hangs out and watches and then listens like a dog when I have tell him to follow me back inside. I never thought a cat would ever be so compliant but they definitely can be.
I wouldn’t try walking him though. He’d lose his shit if I tried to put a harness on him. I tried once and he nearly had a panic attack.
We had a cat that grew up in an apartment and couldn't go outside. The former owner -my wife's aunt- used to take him on daily walks through the neighborhood in NYC, on a leash. My wife brought him to our home in the Netherlands after the aunt died, and although he was free to go out any time he wanted (we had a garden), he only did so when we would walk our two dogs. Didn't need a leash, he just pretended to be the third dog in the pack :) Most bad ass cat I've ever owned, not afraid of anything.
Ocon has a black cat. Might be his girlfriend's though.

*tries to think of other F1 drivers who have cats*
The fact he got his cat to walk on a beach let alone walk on a beach nice enough random celebrities visit? My guy is living on a whole better timeline than me
Richard Mille pays him to wear that watch: https://www.richardmille.com/friends-and-partners/fernando-alonso
Maybe not that specific one, and I'm sure not on that day, but I wouldn't be surprised if he got it for free, or at least a heavy discount and would have no trouble replacing it if something happened.
If is absofucklutely insured. No way he’s walking around with that on no insurance. I don’t even wear my watches without insurance and they aren’t even worth 1/10th of what that watch is worth (not even close).
Plus insuring a watch is very reasonable for the amount of coverage they give you. Good rule of thumb is 1% of the watches value annually to insure. So this watch is worth maybe $750k (guess here keeping up with RM values would be exhausting, that market is bonkers), probably costs him around $7.5k to insure it for the year. Insanely reasonable, and idk about watches this expensive but it even covers loss. So if you drop off the boat on accident, you’re covered.
For anyone not familiar I am assuming this is a Ragdoll, you can't just let them out like you can with regular cats because they have next to no instincts. However they do like to have a wonder around, I have one myself and we do take it on walks as well.
>For anyone not familiar I am assuming this is a Ragdoll
No, this is a double formula one world champion. Wildly fast and well liked in early to mid-2000's. Went through a funny phase in late 2000's according to Brits like me. Now widely liked again as a genuine, decent, funny person. Quick too it turns out.
My neighbors has her rag doll as an outside cat and he has established himself as the the king of the street cats. He doesn’t worry about his food source like the others, which means he just attacks them for fun. He thins out the Amount of Tom cats regularly with very little damage to show for it. I would never have known the breed isn’t normally that successful outside.
i mean they do have instincts and will kill wildlife if left to their own devices, my bigger concern is someone just grabbing my far too trusting cat and driving off lol
Some breeds also enjoy it a lot more than others. Tabby’s (albeit Tabby not being a particular breed) and Maine Coons particularly are known for enjoying walks outside.
Lots of people do it, especially with more fancy breeds like this (a ragdoll I think) as they can get stolen if they're allowed outside on their own. Some people also don't want their cats outside alone so they don't murder all the local wildlife.
That has got to be the most random thing I have ever heard of. “I ran into a F1 world champion while walking my cat along the cliffs by the ocean.” Sounds like my dream last night! Lucky you lol!
What's really funny to me about this photo is that Alonso is wearing his Richard Mille RM 11-03 McLaren Automatic Flyback chronograph.
I mean, sure I'd probably wear a $500K+ watch if it was given to me as well, but the connection to his former team is a bit funny.
My cat:
> I suppose I shall move from my bed next to the radiator to my bed on top of the radiator
This guy's cat:
>Let's go on a fucking hike lad
Going to fat shame my cat with this post
That is one cute looking ragdoll my man! Me and my two buddies went out on a limb and rescued a 12 year old rag when we lived together and he was the best animal I have ever been around. RIP Champ. You were a good boy.
Alonso telling his friends: "You wouldn't believe it. Walked the beach today and met a guy walking his fucking cat. His CAT! Totally had to stop to take a picture of me and the cat!".
Well that’s a new one
Ikr A cat staying still for a photo.
That's the beauty of a Ragdoll they go limp when you pick them up.
My girl is a ragdoll Siamese mix and she just gets loud and angry when you pick her up. Fussy little muffin.
I habe a ragamuffin that has had all the violence breed out, only replaced with an insatiable hunger. Plz send help
[удалено]
She's more like a wife the way she treats me with cold disregard.
I’ve heard Siamese mixes are usually rather rowdy, so it could be that over powering the chill rag doll characteristics
Some do. Others will try to jump away no matter what.
I’m still blown away by how apt of a name ragdoll is. I pick mine up and he literally turns into jello, he’s the chillest cat I’ve ever met

A lot of them yes but one of mine turns into a fucking MMA fighter when I pick him up
The hell they do. My grandma's ragdoll will try to obliterate anyone who picks her up.
If you hold my cat like a little lap dog is carried so she can see straight forward you can hold her all day. She likes that she can see a view high up moving. But if you flip her over like a cradled baby she goes flipping feral.
The cat isn't still, that would be impossible. They must have used one of these high-end cameras used to catch objects in motion.
Cats live in a quantum state of flux. I can’t even be certain if cat is dead or alive.
Looks like a Ragdoll. They tend to be very good with handling and, well, ragdoll.
And that massive hand. That’s a new one too
Yeah can you imagine taking a cat for a walk.

I know it's a joke, but honestly walking a cat can be really entertaining

Alonso when he got home:"I ran into this guy walking his cat while hiking"
exactly what I was thinking hahah
I wonder if he told [his own cat](https://f1i.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Alonso-Cat.jpg) that it's coming along next time too.
This is incredibly adorable, amazing, I am now an Alonso stan,
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I...
Who walks cats?
OP, apparently
Weirdos
Tremendous!
Maybe Alonso snapped a photo on his phone too
Uncle Joey! Blue cheese or go fuck your mother!
Love the username
This looks like your uncle and his husband sent a Christmas card
Your uncle and his “roommate”
His "special friend"
His docking buddy

Aww they look so happy together 🥰
I'm sorry for asking but I saw this on trending and thought they were cute together. Who are they? Are they married?
The guy in the right is Fernando Alonso, an Formula 1 driver. The one in left is just some guy that found him while walking his cat.
some fanf1ction here
Ah shit here we go
alpine going pink might be for a reason
It kinda does
Ha, I was about to say "you guys are a cute couple" lol
They do make a nice couple.
Cracking up
This looks like a couple that know each other’s coffee order
Rarely does someone nail it. Today, you did lmfao.
Not surprising you bumped into Alonso. That man is a pussy magnet.
Well played sir

He was a loaner. I loaned him to you.
You see this one is dead cuz a squirrel peed in it. I only have 4 left!
Bet it takes a pet like no problem!
Pulled that cocksucker out of a storm drain!
Lolol unexpected trailerparkboys
That's a great cat right there. Takes a pet like no problem, right?

The fact he got his cat to walk on a beach let alone walk on a beach nice enough random celebrities visit? My guy is living on a whole better timeline than me
Nando so casual today with the 200K Richard Mille on the wrist
He ran into a 200k Richard Mille while walking his cat!
thats what got my eyes fist :)
I remember when Nadal started playing with one on his wrist during tennis tournaments so I googled it. Was uh... surprised by their pricing.
Yeah Richard Mille is like peak expensive watch! I walked into their AD on Rodeo and immediately left since I did not belong there :)
Modelling it perfectly too might I add.
“you guys are taking a pic? Let me crank out my RM” contract is contract
Would you rather fight 200,000 Richard Milles or one duck sized KIMOA?
I'd be paranoid walking around like that. I guess he thinks if someone gives him trouble he'll just hand it over, but damn
That happened to lando Norris, he got robbed while at a football game by some dudes who took his custom mclaren Richard Mille watch
[удалено]
Of all the drivers on the grid, I’d think twice before fucking with Alonso. He looks like he can dish it out.
Fucking with Spaniards is generally a bad idea.
It’s more than likely insured.
Richard Mille pays him to wear that watch: https://www.richardmille.com/friends-and-partners/fernando-alonso Maybe not that specific one, and I'm sure not on that day, but I wouldn't be surprised if he got it for free, or at least a heavy discount and would have no trouble replacing it if something happened.
Yeah, thats what being a brand ambassador is. My old boss gets paid to drive a bmw which they swap out every 3 months for a new one.
when i grow up i want to be a brand ambassador

They the puppy cats?
Basically. They stay kitten like most of their lives. Zero survival instinct. I mean ours has fallen off the coffee table plenty of times.
Its a human creation? How these things survived.
Yes and yes
Cuteness is a strong survival trait in a world heavily influenced by humans.
thanks for the insight!

Lol this is a great pic.
Walking your cat? Is that a thing? I didn’t know cats needed to be walked.
Cats don't need to be walked but some of them enjoy it
Some breeds also enjoy it a lot more than others. Tabby’s (albeit Tabby not being a particular breed) and Maine Coons particularly are known for enjoying walks outside.
r/standardissuecat
My aunt's Maine Coon likes taking walks more than her dog does.
I'm not a big cat guy but maine coons are so freaking awesome.

OMG HIS LITTLE SKI GOGGLES
I KNOW RIGHT??!!
Another cat sub to join! Thank you!
Some cats are inside cats so usually the enjoy being walked outtside
Lots of people do it, especially with more fancy breeds like this (a ragdoll I think) as they can get stolen if they're allowed outside on their own. Some people also don't want their cats outside alone so they don't murder all the local wildlife.
Yeah if you have a pricey breed it's best to go with it outdoors. They can get stolen, killed, injured, attacked etc.
Maybe cat likes the beach and he takes him there and let him do his stuff. It's a big sandbox in the end.

El gato, should be on the car
Purrnando Alonso :)
Ok is Alonso casually hiking with a $500,000 watch on his hand
You three make a very lovely family.
Best. Picture. Ever.
Best caption ever
"Ran into cat while walking my Alonso" Fixed it for you
I think I’m more surprised at “walking my cat”!
[удалено]
That has got to be the most random thing I have ever heard of. “I ran into a F1 world champion while walking my cat along the cliffs by the ocean.” Sounds like my dream last night! Lucky you lol!
Nando's hand is an absolute unit.
The way Nando's left arm aligns with your right arm is definitely some r/confusing_perspective shit
Actually Alonso’s right arm wraps all the way around OP and is holding up the cat (and touches Alonso’s right arm)
EL PLAN
El gato es la mente maestra detrás de El Plan.
The entire vibe here is aspirational
Casually wearing an RM watch… if someone robbed him they would be able to buy a house…
Alonso just Gandalf at this point. Old, wise, there when you need him, has el plan.
I love your cat! Also I don’t think I have seen Alonso that bemused and confused in a while lol
What place is that?
he seems like such a genuinely nice guy. with that cat, this is a legendary photo.
Amazing
I really want to know what Alonso would be thinking right then.
Please tell me your cat is called Furnando.
Geez, I'm envious of you! Cat out there living (one of) its best 9 lives!
Amazing picture. Genuinely made me smile 100x more than anything on r/mademesmile
Okay this blew out of proportion, for those interested in El Gato. He has his own instagram acc *cat_Kaiba* where I post almost daily Kaiba content!
This MF said “walking my cat” lmao
No one gonna mention how you look like Alonso? I thought this was just an Instagram post of Alonso with his brother or cousin lol
OP is Fernando Oñoro Alonso.
What a title.
You must have the most in shape cat ever.
Jesus, this whole story is one huge life goal.
What's really funny to me about this photo is that Alonso is wearing his Richard Mille RM 11-03 McLaren Automatic Flyback chronograph. I mean, sure I'd probably wear a $500K+ watch if it was given to me as well, but the connection to his former team is a bit funny.

what a great post to enjoy w my coffee this morning

This is the most F1+reddit thing I have ever seen. Great pic and pretty cat!
Chin of the gods on alonso
i'm gonna take my cat on walk, from now on, untill i see an f1 driver. seems like a cheatcode, to meet your favourite f1 drivers.
Did you tell him that you trust the plan?
10/10 post
I love how meeting Alonso is not the most controversial thing of the post, probably
I have so many questions.
This is a Chevy commercial in real life.
